I run gpt-oss 120b model on ollama (the model is about 65 GB on disk) with 128k context size (the model is super optimized and only uses 4.8 GB of additional RAM for KV cache at th…

Congratulations to Christian and all the contributors on another vim milestone. Thank you all. I am so thrilled to see vim development continuing. As early vim (vi imitation) user …

Coaching does not imply superiority. I doubt any sports coach could substitute any player in a competitive game, yet they can coach them to become better version of themselves. Wha…

In ZFC set theory, indexed family over a set (possibly uncountable or even bigger), is just syntactic sugar for a function. So let's say you have a set U (possibly uncountable). To…

I prefer this test: "Imagine a ball resting on a table. A person walks up to the table and pushes the ball". Question for the test subject: "What will happen?" Everyone answers cor…

Brings back memories. Aztec C was my first C compiler on Amiga 500 way back in 1990. I learned C, I learned vi. Still have fond memories of those early days.

Can you please elaborate? How are you running ollama? I just build it from source and have written a shell script to start/stop it. It runs under my local user account (I should pr…

Ah, ok, that's a nasty bug/scenario. I long for the good old days one could just rsync the internal drive and bless it and you have a bootable clone, or make compressed disk image.…

How did you end up with TM backup larger than original source? Sure, total storage consumed on TM drive can be larger than source, but that is because older versions of files are s…

I view CAP theorem as statement about the universe we live in (information travels at speed of light, "instantaneous" is observer dependant etc), and not as a consequence of inform…

As fellow mathematician tutoring my son I found all of the articles incredibly useful. Thank you for writing them and making them freely accessible. Awesome work.

Signal perhaps does not allow you to export your message history through the front door, however decrypting and exporting your message history is relatively low effort. You message…

You probably don't need to learn C and program in it, but I do think knowing material covered in say [1] Computer Systems - A Programmer's Perspective will make you a better engine…

Yet another background daemon. No thanks. Update when you need to, it's not like it's mandatory.

macOS Catalina 10.15.7 is also affected and there is no official patch from Apple.

Looks like a great machine, however, the screen resolution is a little disappointing. Why can't we have retina screens on non-Apple hardware? Is this due to Linux limitations or ma…

Engineering a Compiler 2nd Edition by Keith D. Cooper and Linda Torczon is highly regarded.

Are containers still necessary? Does the Firefox built in privacy (Strict privacy protection policy) provide same or similar functionality?

Why use pyenv when venv is built into Python 3? Also, pip installs your dependencies into active venv, so I don't see a point in using anything else.

You can find out more about Stockfish's NNUE architecture and internal working here: https://github.com/glinscott/nnue-pytorch/blob/master/docs/n... It's pretty interesting read.

Alpha Zero would not be competitive in its original implementation. It's neural net is too small (this is why it only took 4 hours to train it, since it stopped learning after 4 ho…

Interesting, considering the brain can not metabolize fructose, only glucose and ketones. Liver is the only organ that can metabolize fructose, where it ends up producing metabolit…

The computer is so thin, the headphone jack had to be moved to the side. Now you have desktop computer with speaker cable hanging on the side going to your external powered speaker…
